    Came here to order to go closer to the restaurant's closing time. The staff was very friendly and food came out within a few mins - I love the efficiency! I got the beef rendang and it just tastes like what I got back in Indonesia. The flavor was wonderful. I will definitely come back next time to try their other dishes. The restaurant feels a bit fast and casual. Highly recommend here.

    I got the Melayu and the Gado Gado to share. I felt that everything was very affordable and the portion is very decent for the price. This was my first time having the Gado Gado, it was pretty good and interesting but definitely wouldn't be my top choice. It was basically a bed of lettuce with peanut sauce, while it did taste good nothing really stood out and it tastes exactly how it sounds. The Melayu came with Indonesian curry, rice, fried chicken etc. The fried chicken pretty much tasted like popcorn chicken but I loved the curry and peanut anchovy sauce it came with, it was so flavoral and really tied the whole dish together.

    Cutest little hole in the wall in Alhambra. Given the diversity of our orders, we pretty much ordered the entire menu. I can happily say that we loved everything we got. Looks like their menu has nothing but winners. I got the rendang. For the price, my plate offered so much value in exchange for the $16.50 it cost. The ratio of protein to rice to veggies was more than reasonable. It was delicious and authentic! I didn't find it spicy. They add some sort of sambal to your plate so if you wish to, you could increase the heat. The bathroom was clean. So was the entire restaurant. And the staff were solicitous and ready to accommodate our needs. Given the level of hospitality we experienced as well as the incredible value we got from our very satisfying meal, you can bet we'll be back very soon.

    Borneo Eatery had been on my list for a while and being a fan of the food from that region made it a must try. The place can get busy so just be prepared for that. I went with the Borneo Seafood with flat rice noodles, good portion size and well seasoned. But the smoky flavor was what really got me. That's the kind of thing that makes a dish memorable.

    Been wanting to try Borneo Eatery for awhile and finally got the chance. The shop is small, but the service was quick and efficient. We ordered the roti prata, laksa, and cendol dessert for my parents, and the chicken satay, nasi campur, penyet plate, roti prata, and teh tarik for the rest of the family. Overall, the food tasted great and everyone enjoyed their dishes. Definitely get the coconut rice, which brings a rich yet light flavor to the rice and makes it absolutely delicious. The standout for me was definitely the roti prata -- cooked to perfection: crispy, light, airy, and super satisfying. The flavors across the dishes were solid and made me excited to come back and explore more of the menu. My only disappointment was the portion for the large roti prata order. It only came with 2 rotis and a small container of curry sauce, which felt a bit skimpy for the price/size. Still, the quality of the food was excellent overall, and I'd definitely come back again to try other dishes.

    The milk tea with jelly is a must-try! We ordered 3 dishes for the two of us: Roti Prata: The sauce has a strong, delicious flavor. Just dip the roti in and enjoy! Chicken Rice and Egg noodle were good, but in my opinion, the chicken was a bit too sweet.

    Super delicious Indonesian/singaporean/malaysian food. It's a cute little mom and pop shop and the service was super quick! The portions weren't too big so we were able to share a bunch of dishes among the whole table. Chicken satay - 5/5 Super moist and the sauce it came with had a rlly nice sweet and salty flavor Roti - 5/5 The roti was really flaky and soft and paired really well with the curry sauce Beef rendang- 4/5 A bit on the spicy side and the beef was a bit dry, but overall still delicious. I do wish it came w a little more meat tho Singapore laksa - 4/5 LOVED the coconut flavor of the laksa. The noodles were slightly overcooked tho and again, I wish it came w more protein Borneo style rice noodles - 4/5 Tastes exactly like what you expect -- sweet, salty, w added freshness from the bean sprouts and vegetables Overall, would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. I could def see this becoming a staple restaurant for me if I lived in the 626

    Chicken Satay
    Leon C.

    As a born and semi-bred Malaysian, Borneo Eatery is a solid pick for those looking to try or revisit borneo-cuisine. Came in early on a Friday and was greeted with friendly service. Ordering was quick and we were checked in on a handful of times. The staff were attentive and smiley. I got the Nasi Lemak as that was a personal favourite of mine growing up. It didn't exactly hit the spot but it definitely surprised me in a good way. The chopped up chicken allowed for a crispier exterior but also meant less juicy meat. Cabbage as a side was new to me, but was fresh and creamy. Solid sambal, though I'd personally like it a touch hotter. Overall a different take that works and makes it a wonderful, easy to eat rice dish. Chicken satay was great! Nutty sauce with a crispy garnish. It's missing the smoky flavour but the meat was cooked very well. A casual, family-friendly, hole-in-the-wall restaurant that lives up to it's name.

    Plenty of well lit seating inside, Very attentive staff, I was greeted immediately entering the restaurant. I asked for takeout and was handed a menu. Right when I set down the menu someone came up to take my order. The flavor isn't strong, almost bland. The best way for me to explain it is if you took yesterday's leftovers and threw it all together. Hokkien mie- Taste like chicken broth with a instant ramen packet Topped with tea egg, yesterdays chassiu, and some butter chicken. Overall the service is good, response time good, cleanliness good.

    The food was delicious! It was my first time going here, so we tried a little of everything. My favorite was definitely the chicken satay, it was so flavorful and came with 5 skewers, which I thought was pretty good for the price. My other favorite was the hokkien mie, the noodles were a nice texture and I really liked the chicken in them The borneo style fried rice and nasi campur plate were also yummy! Loved the char siu The roti was good, but I do not think the portion was good considering the price ($9.50 for 2) The service was ok, we did sit there for awhile before someone came over & we could ask for the check. Also, parking is kind of hard, you either can do street or there is a lot near the restaurant we parked at. Overall, it was yummy and I would go again!

    Helen W.

    A small little place and very casual. I probably would walk right by it normally but the food was excellent. The service was good. We loved the satay and the noodles stirred fry (only wished that we got the flat noodles liked we ordered).

    Joe L.

    It was my first time here and I was amazed by the food and friendly staff! Ordered: 1) Roti Prata: loved the texture of the roti and the curry-like sauce on the side 2) Singapore Laksa: felt so comforting! Never had Laksa before so I don't have anything to compare it to. But I loved how much ingredients they pack into a single bowl! All of this with noodles in a sweet and savory curry broth :) 3) Chicken satay Rice Combo: IMO, this was the highlight of the meal! The chicken was super juicy and the satay sauce was so delicious and you have to pair this with some coconut rice! Amazing combo! Would definitely come back just for this!

    Lemak (coconut rice, fried chicken, fried tofu, curry egg, spicy peanut anchovy)!
    Eunhae H.

    My very first time trying Indonesian/Singaporean/Malaysian cuisine, and I am a huge fan! This is definitely a hole-in-the-wall place, which confirmed to me that the dishes were authentic. The interior is so cute and colorful that it made the dining experience all the more fun and appetizing. We ordered a Large Roti Prata (2 grilled flour based pancake/bread) that is served with their Indonesian curry sauce. The soft/chewy Roti Prata dipped in the curry sauce was phenomenal! I absolutely loved everything about this appetizer. For the main, we ordered Lemak, which is a coconut grant rice plate served with friend chicken, fried tofu, curry egg, and spicy peanut anchovy. Interestingly, the star of this dish was the peanut anchovy and curry egg. We also ordered the famous Singapore Laksa that comes with a choice of egg noodles, vermicelli, or flat rice noodles. This noodle soup is a creamy coconut milk-based curry with shrimp, fish cake, fried tofu, marinated egg, sweet corn, and bean sprouts. I would definitely order this again! It seems like a lot of people get the Chicken Satay so I definitely want to come back to try that and get some of the other menus that I've tried previously again.

Joining the waitlist online once you are close by saves so much time and makes the entire experience so much smoother. If you are coming here for the first time, there are three absolute must-order items. The Curry Laksa is spectacular, featuring a rich, aromatic curry broth that is packed with authentic spice and flavor, along with a wonderful variety of ingredients loaded right into the bowl with the noodles. Their Hainan Chicken is hands down the best I have ever tasted! Even though the portion size is on the smaller side, the quality more than makes up for it. The meat is ridiculously soft, tender, and juicy, and the savory sauce served alongside it is top-notch. Finally, the Roti Canai is an absolute essential that you simply cannot skip. It comes out piping hot, with a flatbread that is perfectly crispy and flaky on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired with a rich curry dipping sauce. Everything here tastes amazingly authentic, and the incredible flavors truly transport you straight to Malaysia. I am so glad I finally made it out here, and I will definitely be back soon!

The chicken was tender and flavorful! The curry roti and laksa noodle were delicious. The curry was not over powering the ingredients. The bak kit teh is a like of traditional Malaysian herb soup. I like it, but I can see a lot of people might not like it because of the herbal flavor. There are 2 levels of parking, but parking is limited.

The banana fritters had a nice lightly crisp batter coating a slightly firm sweet a bit tart banana topped with some shredded cheese that didn't really taste like anything and some fun cocoay choco sprinkles. The coconut dessert was thick and had creamy coconut pudding, soft sago, pretty purple rice, chewy mochi balls, and perfectly sweet coconut milk. I got their special shredded beef nasi padang with the chili on the side and it had a bunch of stuff from fragrant flavorful rice, a fried boiled egg, a tiny bit spicy shredded beef, crunchy cucumber and peanuts, and a soft fluffy smooth potato croquette. Pure deliciousity. The tumeric rice plate also came with more of that yummy rice with some fun crunchies, a chili sauce, a beefy piece of beef rendang, slightly sweet savory bell peppery tempeh, fried chicken piece, and a hard boiled egg in some a bit spicy chili sauce. Everyone is so nice and hardworking and the food was super flavorful and had the perfect balance of sweet savory and a bit of spice for life. Overall this place is pretty good.

The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with limited capacity. They are sanitizing / cleaning in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is pretty big since they share a parking lot with many other establishments. The parking spot sizes vary depending on where you park. There shouldn't be any issues finding a spot. Food: I ordered an Indonesian fried rice and pork satay skewers with rice. The Indonesian fried rice was really delicious. The Indonesian fried rice had some greens, eggs, garlic, dried shallots, dried onions, raw onions, green onion, chicken, and meatball. All cooked to perfection. There were a good amount of chicken and meatballs in the dish. Both were soft, juicy, tender, and full of flavors. I love that the hot rice was slightly crunchy. It reminded me of eating rice from a hot stone bowl. For the pork satay skewers, I was lowkey disappointed that they didn't have lamb this time. I originally ordered lamb satay skewers, but they told me they didn't have it so they asked me to order a different satay skewer. I opted for pork satay skewers. This dish normally comes with rice cakes, but I'm not a fan of the texture of rice cakes, so I asked them to give me plain white rice instead. They happily obliged and gave me a bowl of white hot and steaming white rice along with 5 pork satay skewers. The marinade for the pork satay skewers had hints of garlic, lemon, honey, sweet soy sauce, and peanut sauce. An extremely delicious marinade for the pork satay skewers. The grilled pork itself was very aromatic, tender, juicy, and flavorful. So incredibly umami! A good portion for the price point for both dishes. I do agree with other Yelpers that I felt extremely thirsty after eating both dishes. Perhaps they need to tone it down a bit on the MSG. Staff: The staff here are very friendly, happy, welcoming, and helpful. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. Also, right when you walk into the restaurant, there is a very cute and small market. You can get some delicious Indonesian snacks and other things while you wait for your food. I highly recommend coming here and giving this lovely mom and pop Indonesian restaurant a try. Sooooo fricken good!

    All I can say twice legit Nasi Bungkus. The best Nasi…read moreBungkus in the entire American continent... No lies. Try it for yourself!

    Balinese street food pop-up run by two sisters that specialize in the banana leaf package meal aka…read moretheir signature bungkus or package. I think I saw this place pop up on my social media which is how I got on my radar. I signed up for the newsletter and did a pre-order when they did a pop-up. I don't have a lot of experience with Bali/ Indonesian food, but this was such a fun, novel experience and the food was really tasty. I ordered nasi bungkus, the kueh lapis, and the es cendol. From their website, the nasi bungus contained the following. STEAMED RICE Fragrant lemongrass rice made with coconut milk, pandan leaves, and galangal SAYUR URAB Long bean and bean sprout dish with toasted coconut and kencur COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY Pasture-raised chicken, slow-cooked for six hours MOTHER-IN-LAW EGG Hard-boiled egg marinated in tamari and topped with chili paste TEMPE OREK Fried soy bean cake in a sweet and spicy glaze SAMBAL GORENG Spicy Thai chilies, shallots, and garlic, fried and finished with coarse salt KACANG BALI Bali-style salted peanuts ABON BABI Traditional dried pork garnish The kueh lapis is a fun colorful, coconutty dessert that is nice, thick and chewy. The cendol is a nice desserty drink made of coconut milk, pandan jelly, red bean, and diced jackfruit. The drink reminds me of something similar in the Vietnamese culture. I was a fan. The desert was beautiful as well, and had such a fun look to it. I like the chewiness, and it was fun the peel the layers. The nasi bungkus itself was a nice combination of flavors and textures. I bought some of that chili stuff in a jar and added some extra on top. I liked that there was a kick, but not so much where I started sweating. The spice was a nice level. I got a little excited and ordered a lot of food and was totally full by the time I finished my items. Pick up itself was really easy. After you pre-order early in the week when they do a pop-up, there's a time window where you pick up - and in this case it was Friday afternoon - night. When I got there, they were friendly, and just directed me towards the counter, where they did final prep to give me my food. They even gave me some reheating instructions just in case. Super friendly and you can tell they put a lot of care into their product. I hope they have all the success in the world and would like to order from them again.
